Changes locked out - we ditch Six Apart.

lockout.gifI’m moving to my new hosting (BlueHost) in March. Well, I’m there now - but it will take that long to transfer the DNS :rolleyes: Linux hosting, lots of bandwidth for rally videos. More uptime then a cable modem in Portland, ME. :)

In the process of changing hosting I will dump Movable Type / Six Apart. It’s been real, it’s been fun, but it hasn’t been “real fun.” I’m looking strongly into b2evolution. It’s php based, but we’ve come a long way from the original “post nuke”, and I don’t need a content management system. I need a blog.

What’s this mean to you? You may not be able to post comment spam. ;) You won’t be able to search or see the picture gallery. The site should be “static” but up.

Thank you for your attention. We know you have many choices of websites to fly with, and we thank you for flying with planetkris.com. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the crash…

Google Maps!

Posted under rave by Kris sometime around 4:07 pm

google_maps.jpgA precursory glance has revealed that it’s probably the greatest map search ever. I love the google simplicity and the sims’like graphics and shading. I have loaded a 2048 X 768 map of Irvine. I did a plot from my old apartment to Las Vegas and it came up pretty quick.

I have enough faith in Google to make this my defacto map search standard - sight unseen. I don’t see me being disappointed. The only thing that could make me giggle with delight is a “tulip based” turn by turn generator. Yahoo maps had something almost like this at one time and then dropped it. Silly Yahoo…
